As He Becomes A Rent-A-Quote
I was sleeping in the boot of my car the other day when my cellphone rang, waking me up from the horrible nightmare I was having, in which I found myself sleeping in the boot of my car while my cellphone rang.
I answered the phone groggily, as one does after a night of disco dancing and cheap liquor, to be greeted by the shrill voice of East London Eddie, so called because his name is Eddie, and he is from East London.
“East London Eddie, what the f**k do you want?” I enquired with mild curiosity, as I was fairly certain I had hired a trained ninja to eliminate him 6 months earlier.
“Cape Town Shaun,” he whined, referring to me by a name that made absolutely NO sense, “I’m just reading the Daily Dispatch, and I see you’re on page 23.”
It was then that I remembered another strange call days earlier, ironically from someone from the Daily Dispatch, an East London-based newspaper who were writing a piece on eNews Weatherman Derek van Dam. They contacted me, no doubt after seeing me in the May edition of the Cosmo, and after reading this Derek van Dam post I wrote, and phoned me for some some more sound bytes.
I managed to get a copy of the newspaper, and had a look at the article they did. Here with an extract:
|
All the attention Van Dam is getting is not going down well with some guys, whose girlfriends neglect them as soon as Van Dam appears on TV. One of them is “prominent” Cape Town socialite Shaun Oakes, who runs his own blog, shaunoakes.com. In an entry dated July 1, he goes on about how his evenings of seducing his girlfriend end with a kick in the groin when Van Dam comes on the screen. |
Now, I’m not sure why they decided to put “prominent” in inverted commas, like they were trying to be ironic or something. I think I’m going to have to have words with the editor. Later on in the article they also mention something about me wanting to get into a boxing match with Derek van Dam, which I don’t really remember saying, and am not really too keen on (it would probably be a pretty lame fight scene).
So ja, you can read the rest of the Daily Dispatch article here.

Thats like the coolest shit ever.
I predict that very soon, well once you eventually learn how to get ya lady into bed as that seems to be an issue in almost every post, you will be replacing Daniel Craig in the bond films.
You have my vote
*thumbs up*
@Craig,
As it happens, there are currently negotiations around a possible TV spot.
Watch this space.
You’ve got a great sense of humour mate. It’s dry, but you can wing it
Big ups!
That just sort of came to me btw. How amazing is that!? I should patent that sh*t
Wow, I just fell on my back at how awesome that was.
